IPL Photofacial
Most IPL photofacials are a 30-minute procedure where intense pulses of light penetrate deep into your skin to help decrease skin issues.
IPL Photofacial therapy is a non-invasive, non-abrasive option for reducing birthmarks, age spots, and freckles caused by the sun. IPL is also used to decrease acne and wound scarring and effective hair removal. Intense pulsed light photofacials cause blood vessels below the skin to constrict, which reduces redness and age lines.

Sun damage and skin complexion results can be seen a few days after the first session. The skin will continue to look younger and more brilliant over time with the most visible results after 1-2 weeks. Having multiple photofacial sessions will improve the final result. For vascular treatments such as facial telangiectasias, results can be seen in up to 2 weeks.
